My kids have been having a great time “playing with math” (and learning so much without realizing it). https://www.amazon.com/Math-Magic-Wonderland-Lilac-Mohr/dp/1532894422/

And killed it for her in about 30 seconds. Her griping poisoned the well for the younger kids. Five years later, we’re still battling it out but at least I’ve stopped trying with the repetitive drills. Right now, we do Life of Fred, the “your business math” from Simply Charlotte Mason, the “The I Hate Mathematics Book” book (it has a lot of logic puzzles), the Sir Cumference books, and any number-related game I can find.

They are young-grade 5, grade 2, and K. We use technology, some worksheets, Life of Fred, a lot of manipulative, games, and a whole lot of real life. It has been going really well. And by the way, I am 100% sure that my oldest two hate math-they have told me a lot.
